Amarimba spearheads social development programs, recreational events, and educational workshops. After hosting a holiday party to make a valuable contribution to families of local homeless shelters in 2015, she was inspired to establish T.A.L.L.O.M.
A native of Trinidad, Amarimba migrated to the US in search of a better life for her family. A former health care finance administrator, she currently devotes her time, energy and passions to charitable works. A childhood survivor of poverty, low self-esteem and depression brought on by child molestation, Amarimba understands first-hand the need to protect the rights and well-being of children.
A fierce advocate for disadvantaged youth, her resourcefulness in finding innovative solutions to support inner-city youth is extraordinary. Amarimba is experiencing her life's purpose and takes great pleasure in contributing to her community. When she's not wielding her superpowers of love and compassion, Amarimba enjoys traveling, cooking, church fellowship, and reading. She is also fond of assisting her three beautiful daughters with Girl Scout activities.
This Awesome Little Light of Mine, T.A.L.L.O.M. Foundation, Inc., is on a mission to open doors to a wide range of life-changing opportunities for inner-city youth and communities. Serving the Brownsville/East New York low-income community in Brooklyn, New York, we seek to provide ongoing support to at-risk youth and families with programs and services designed to supply individuals with the resources needed to thrive in challenging situations or environments.
Empowering At-Risk Youth
Inner-city youth face constant challenges living in the district of Brownsville/East New York: gang and drug influence, delinquent behavior, teen parenthood, and low school performance. Situations of this nature often place youth of the community at a severe disadvantage and can plunge them into a cycle of dependency. Our goal is to ensure that at-risk youth make a successful transition into adulthood with the chance to become respected members of society.
Nurturing Low-Income Communities
Residents of impoverished communities often struggle to overcome high levels of unemployment, violence, family dysfunction, and poverty. Families become overwhelmed with the circumstances and often spiral into a sense of hopelessness. Many want to reach out for assistance but feel they have no options to choose from in which to escape oppressive conditions. We strive to make a profound social impact in the Brownsville/East New York neighborhood and provide community-based programs to give the underprivileged an outlet to a better way of life.
The T.A.L.L.O.M. Foundation is on a heartfelt mission to bring hope to at-risk youth and the troubled community we serve. Our purpose is to inspire action for positive social change.
